Bugatti released the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/08\/14\/bugatti-veyron-grand-sport-sang-bleu-unveiled-in-monterey\/\">Sang Bleu<\/a> version this past summer in Monterey, but that&#8217;s about it. In addition to the the pair of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/07\/07\/first-drive-bugatti-veyron-16-4-grand-sport-is-a-temple-of-zen\/\">Grand Sports we drove<\/a>, those are the only color combinations we&#8217;ve seen for the drop-top Bugatti.<\/p>\n<p>That is, of course, until we hit the show floor here in Geneva. Bugatti has brought out a brand new Grand Sport finished in carbon fiber covered in clearcoat and polished aluminum. Other than the wheels, which we&#8217;re not huge fans of, the car is completely stunning to look at. If we somehow had the cash to buy and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/17\/bugatti-veyron-running-costs-so-spendy-cheaper-to-use-a-private\/\">maintain a Bugatti<\/a>, the carbon fiber finish would be the first option we would check off. You can see all of our live photos of the car in the high-res gallery below. And try to keep the drool from puddling on your keyboard.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-bugatti-grand-sport-in-carbon-fiber\/low\/\">Geneva 2010: Bugatti Grand Sport in Carbon Fiber<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-bugatti-grand-sport-in-carbon-fiber\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/01grandsportcarbongeneva_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-bugatti-grand-sport-in-carbon-fiber\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/02grandsportcarbongeneva_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-bugatti-grand-sport-in-carbon-fiber\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/03grandsportcarbongeneva_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-bugatti-grand-sport-in-carbon-fiber\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/04grandsportcarbongeneva_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-bugatti-grand-sport-in-carbon-fiber\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/05grandsportcarbongeneva_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n<em><strong><small>Photos by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drewphillipsphotography.com\/\">Drew Phillips<\/a> \/ <\/small><\/strong><\/em><em><strong><small>Copyright (C)2010<\/small><\/strong><\/em><em><strong><small> Weblogs, Inc.<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/02\/geneva-2010-bugatti-grand-sport-bares-its-carbon-fiber\/\">Geneva 2010: Bugatti Grand Sport bares its carbon fiber<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Tue, 02 Mar 2010 14:10:00 EST.
